Need info pleaseFollow

I am currently a DArk Age of Camelot Infiltrator, level 50, and I am currently thinking of starting a career in Everquest as a Ranger. What is the best race and area to start a fledgling Ranger? I have read a few posts on various sites on the internet, but I don't feel many people are serious on most forums. I'd like to have some serious Everquest gamers respond to this if possible to get the best info as possible.

Stat-wise, halflings probably make the best rangers. Halfling jokes aside, they are well-rounded (no pun intended) in stats and have a great newbie area that can carry you into your teens without ever having to leave home. However, if a short, plump hairy footed guy doesn't fit your image of a bow carrying guardian of the woods, wood elves, humans and half elves are still very viable. In fact, halflings are a Johnny-come-lately since originally they couldn't even be rangers.

Heh, the above response hadn't been posted when I did, so I find it amusing we both used the same phrase to describe halflings. I'll admit that Iluien plays a ranger and I've never played one seriously so take his advice with more thought than you'd take mine
